Biology
A systems biology knowledgebase known as KBase seeks to integrate and make broadly accessible everything we know or can learn about plants and microbes. Kbase will be a unique resource, bringing together multiple research communities and empowering them with computational tools to address fundamental biological questions.
-
Smart Grid
Brookhaven is using high-performance computing (HPC) methods to assess electrical grid planning and performance using the power industry's existing software tools.
-
Photon Sciences
New detector technology planned for NSLS-II requires new computing approaches to experiment control, data management, data analysis workflow, and metadata handling with high performance on data storage and retrieval, as well as visualization.
-
Nanoscience
The Center for Functional Nanomaterials Computation Facility and Theory Group provides multi-purpose high-performance computing for internal projects. Its resources include 2,200 computing cores, supported by high-speed networking to facilitate intensive, parallel computing as well as data storage.
-
National Nuclear Data Center
The National Nuclear Data Center collects experimental information on nuclear structure and nuclear reactions, evaluates them, maintains nuclear databases, and uses modern information technology to disseminate the results.
-
Environmental Data Mgmt.
Brookhaven's Environmental Sciences Department Environmental Data Management Group created and manages an External Data Center for the Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Climate Research Facility.

Lattice QCD
Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (Lattice QCD) simulates the interaction between quarks and gluons using Monte Carlo methods based on the theory of Quantum Chromodynamics. Lattice QCD has been successfully applied to study the QCD phase transition, CP violation, hadron structure and various other important topics in theoretical nuclear and high energy physics.
About the Center
The Center for Data Driven Discovery (C3D) drives research and development of new methods and tools to extract knowledge from Big Data. CD3 benefits from the Computational Science Initiative's connections in varied research domains to further its efforts in interactive exploration and analysis of multi-petabyte data sets, visual analytics for real-time decision making, and machine learning for examining complex phenomena spanning many scientific areas.
